Avahi and some Macs keep changing their names
-
Running pfSense 2.0 RC1 on Alix on three separate locations with OpenVPN tunnels and Avahi set up on each. Works great, but a few of the Mac systems keep complaining another device with the same name is on the network and they change their name. One server is doing it constantly so it gets up to hundreds or thousands of name changes in a short time. I am assuming I have to adjust something, but not quite sure where to start. Its strange that only certain machines seem to have the problem, most appear to be just fine.
Thanks for any thoughts!

Is there any chance you have some kind of a network loop going on where they are getting back the same traffic they are sending?

It must be something like that, but not sure why all are not impacted. I have two OpenVPN tunnels from my house in Atlanta to some servers north of the city, each going to a separate LAN interface on that pfSense, might that be the culprit? That network has two subnets for PCI Compliance (Internet facing servers separated from internal stations and not allowed to talk to the internal nodes).
